In his second work at Psicotropicodelia, Mario "Pill" Cavalcanti follows his gamemaniac logic, "going many stages further" when compared to the MU.S.GA EP.
With 13 tracks and less than 20 minutes long, "P-Type" delivers a much more varied - and superior - mixture of references: 8-Bit/ Chiptunes, Electro, Breakbeat, interludes with one foot in minimalist electronica [Ambient and Dark Synths], Hardcore Oldschool Techno, Rave-Era Techno/House, etc.
Amusing, criative and without "frills", this mini-album is [also in its artwork, with simulates the visual from cd/cartridge games] one more item that sucessfully unites a soundtrack-y concept and [good] experimental e-music.
AUTHOR'S RELEASE:
Pill launches EP inspired by shoot'em up games.
Three years after the release of "MU.S.GA - Music for Strategy Games" EP, brazilian electronic and game music project Pill is back to the scene and now presents its new work, "P-Type", a collection of insane and conceptual tracks inspired by shoot'em up games.
The new release, a notable homage to classic shoot'em up series like Gradius and R-Type, was organised suggesting tracks for different stages of a space adventure, including themes for level bosses and hidden stages.
The tracks combine the same kind of elements found in other songs by Pill, like short-lenghth with heavy synths and strong bassbeats.
Curious? Just listen, mind your own space adventure and make all this without need to insert coins! ;-)
Em seu segundo trabalho pelo Psicotropicodelia, Mario "Pill" Cavalcanti segue sua lógica gamemaníaca, "avançando diversas fases" em relação ao MU.S.GA EP.
Com suas 13 faixas e menos de 20 minutos de duração, "P-Type" desemboca numa mistura muito maior - e superior - de referências: 8-Bit/ Chiptunes, Electro, Breakbeat, interlúdios com um pé em eletrônica minimalista [Ambient e Dark Synths], Hardcore Oldschool Techno, Rave-Era Techno/House, etc.
Divertido, criativo e sem "firulas", esse mini-álbum é [inclusive na arte gráfica, simulando a de jogos em cd/cartucho] mais um item que une com sucesso o conceito "trilhesco" e [boa] música experimental.
RELEASE DO AUTOR:
Pill lança novo EP inspirado em jogos de nave.
Três anos após lançar o EP "MU.S.GA - Music for Strategy Games", o projeto de música eletrônica e game music brasileiro Pill volta à cena com seu novo trabalho, "P-Type", uma coletêna de faixas insanas inspiradas em games de nave.
O novo trabalho, uma notória homenagem a séries clássicas como Gradius e R-Type, foi organizada de forma a sugerir faixas para diferentes fases de uma aventura espacial, incluindo temas para chefes de fase e cenários escondidos.
As faixas combinam os mesmos tipos de elementos encontrados em outras músicas de Pill, como faixas curtas com bases malucas, synths pesados e fortes batidas.
Curioso? Ouça as faixas, imagine sua aventura espacial e faça isso tudo sem precisar depositar uma ficha sequer! ;-)

That album rocks!
Straight from start after the short intro track, "Moai Zone" stomps its breaking beats in your ears. "Select Player" seems like a fill-in, while "Kamikaze" is an over-the-top speed track -- too much in my taste. "Cave Zone" could be from Mario's ghost house.
[...]
After listening to all tracks I prefer the track Maoi Zone; it is well balanced between beats, bass and harmonies. Soldier of Speccy is a nice 8bit-outro.
